Airbus Beats Goal With 863 Jet Deliveries in 2019, Ousts Boeing From Top Spot

Reuters

   PARIS - Airbus has become the world's largest planemaker for the first
   time since 2011 after delivering a forecast-beating 863 aircraft in
   2019, seizing the crown from embattled U.S. rival Boeing, airport and
   tracking sources said on Wednesday.

   A reversal in the pecking order between the two giants had been
   expected as a crisis over Boeing's grounded 737 MAX drags into 2020.
   But the record European data further underscores the distance Boeing
   must travel to recoup its market position.
